Highschool Football Spring Practice

In this blog I am going to talk about the first high school football spring practice I went to. It was a lot harder than I expected. At the beginning of practice we all went out on the field and recievers went with the quarter backs and ran routes as both the quarter backs threw us the balls. After our little pre-practice we rotated through about five agility training stations. The first one was cones set in a square shape and you would sprint to the first cone side step to the next cone and then run backward to the last cone and keep doing this until the coach blew the whistle. The next station was cones set up in a zigzag pattern and you would run to the first one square up to the next one and then sprint to it etc. The next station was Bags on the ground and and you side steps through all of them. The next station was also bags and you had to run and back and forth through them. The last station was 20 yard sprints. After that we practiced our plays for around 20 minutes. we have quite a few plays and they can get hard to remember. We started conditioning after we practiced the plays. For conditioning we went into the weight room for about 15 minutes. After that we went out to the football field and ran yard sprints. then we went back into the matt room with david monell and did ab workouts for eight minutes straight.
